What is burnt cement?
Burnt cement is nothing more than a mixture of cement, sand and water. Once ready, this putty is applied directly to the surface to be coated, which can be either the wall or the floor. But it doesn’t end there. Burnt cement still goes through a “burning” process, but that has nothing to do with fire.
The firing process refers to the technique of sprinkling cement powder over the still-fresh mass. This process will ensure the smooth and textured appearance of the cement. However, nowadays it is also possible to count on ready-made masses for burnt cement. These products come ready to use, just apply. Burnt cement can still be used to create countertops, tables, and other supporting furniture in the living room.
In other words, its use is very wide and versatile. Another characteristic of burnt cement is that it can receive different colours in its composition, ranging from white to blue, and from red to pink. To do this, simply add pigments of the desired colour to the cement powder.
